Rescuing a flying-fox in a stairwell: this is Bib with her baby, Bub

[@fifi199991]

Thankyou wonderful lady❤❤❤❤

[@nena4215]

At least she was fed, hydrated, cleaned and kept warm. The school looked all concrete and steel not a nice place for bats to hit their heads. That baby looked so tiny and took to the bottle right away, I’m happy someone survived. Thank you

[@kalanilowe5922]

Yeah me to

[@SharonBrown-yn6fz]

Seems like a lot of work. And it’s just her doing it all ? Does anyone have to get up at night for feeds too ?

So sad to lose Mum, but Baby's in good hands.

[@fabienneroure9995]

As soon as you picked-up Bib I teared-up because she looked so helpless, same when she was eating.😪 R.I.P sweet Bib thank you Meg for taking good care of her. Little Meg looks adorable and I'm so happy she made it! Grow strong and healthy little one ❤ 😘

[@suelovescats]

It was so so sad .. her eyes looked like she was saying “ help me and my baby “

[@fabienneroure9995]

@@suelovescats Yes it's so very sad it breaks my heart. Poor little creatures. 😪

[@molletre9606]

I am again shocked how many Batties die after they hit a window. I just learned the Batties can reach between 13 to 20 mph when flying. No wonder its so deadly when they crash at that speed with their little heads first. But I am happy for every baby rescued and after the lovely care, she surely knew that her precious Bub/Meg is in good hands.

[@lorim25]

Oh Bib RIP. Seeing her alert & eating, she seemed so normal. Poor mama. Glad to see her baby is okay. Bub, now Meg.....will be flying high with a colony of her own.

[@Megabattie]

I rescued and cared for Bib and baby Bub for the first night; the Princess did the interim care until Bib didn't make it. Baby Bub came back to me so I could find a carer; I think Bub went to Auntie Jack and was renamed Meg in gratitude (Auntie Jack hadn't had any babies in care for a year or 2, being somewhat out in the country with her local bat colony not being in residence).

[@bearalohalani]

I had hopes for Ms Bib with her enthusiastic grabbing of the fruit you offered her. That girl was *hungry* and I thought maybe her lack of milk was the result of lack of food. I'm guessing some babies can/do suck a healthy mum dry. From what I could see, Bib looked reasonably healthy except for bashing her head. Btw, is the Princess shown on your Bat Carers map? Thank you for all you do, Meg. I truly admire your work - you are an exemplary healer, even though many of those you help are beyond recovery. With love and respect from the heart. ❤ Susan 🐻

Bub is in care with another carer. There are vids of her - she was called Piaf for a few days while she was with me, but she ended up with another carer who called her Meg. Search for Megabattie/Piaf in the YT search bar and you might find it. It was about 2 weeks ago. I don't think there was a video specifically on her, but she made cameo appearances in some of the other vids.

[@dianebrock7530]

It truly Amazing how Gentle they are with you, you have the perfect confident energy to take Great care of them, Love watching

[@Megabattie]

Mum Bib was very very concussed - she had little contact with reality and was in extreme trouble neurologically. She didn't even fight me over anything and was very vague. I like caring for them and I really like doing the rescues. The Princess is the best carer for head injuries in Sydney, so of course Bib and Bub went to her which gave Bib the best chance at survival. When she didn't survive, baby Bub went to Aunty Jack to be raised; she was delighted by having a baby in care. I also took her Piaf who was renamed Maggie (because Maggie and I drove the babies up to Jack). I wasn't as confident when I started, and this was a learning curve over years. I'm confident now because I'm not scared of the bats so I just catch and assess.
